Why we quote fixed prices instead of charging by the hour

Most people have a story about a tradesperson who quoted one number and charged another. When you are billed by the hour, every delay, every surprise, and every slow day comes out of your pocket, and you have no way of knowing the final cost until the invoice lands. We do it differently. Before we start, we assess the job properly and give you a fixed price. That number is what you pay, even if the job turns out to take us longer than we expected. It means the risk of a surprise sits with us, not with you, which is exactly where it should sit, because we are the ones who can judge how long a job will take. It also keeps us honest: if we quote it tight, we have to work efficiently to make it work, and that is good for you. The only time the price changes is if you ask us to do more than we quoted, and even then we will quote the extra before we do it. Fixed price, full warranty, on the dot. That is the whole idea behind Strike.
